Is there a better place to live?

What will I miss about Colorado? Well, the internship has been a rewarding experience, but at the same time, it is not what I will miss most. Being from Kansas, we do not have this type of impressive beauty there. Looking out of my backyard in Lawrence, I could probably see for miles since it is so flat.


However, here, the mountains are absolutely spectacular. On Saturday, I took a hike into Rocky Mountain National Park. We found a trail complete with a waterfall. Roundtrip was about seven miles. After seeing two snakes and getting eaten alive by mosquitoes, it was a relief to see Cascade Falls. I just took some time at the falls to enjoy the scenery and acknowledge the fact that indeed, I can return. Colorado will be here after I graduate. Colorado will be here when I go on family trips. It’s not going anywhere. I can return.
